Imagehost Problems, Imagebam, Imagevenue, PimpAndHost, PixHost, ImgBox etc

PimpAndHost is not accessible from Finland. The Finnish police has defined PimpAndHost as a child porn distributor. All the other Imagehosts work fine.

When clicking any PimpAndHost link browser transfers you to the Finnish Police information page.

I don't know if Pimp And Host has distributed CP or not, very likely though, now when there is a ban set by the police and affecting all Finnish internet operators traffic to PimpAndHost.

This is bad.

Use VPN with an other country IP and u will see it again.

Looks like imagebam still has some minor issues or they've changed something with their codes

Individual codes for individual pics when first uploaded are available on that screen

These codes are no longer available individually when viewed from the gallery
or forum post - their usually located bottom left under the pic

Possibly following in the footsteps of imgbox who has no individual code available at all
unless you like posting all of them and then delete the unwanted

Am I the only one who keeps having pop-ups from Imagebam? It always seems to happen the first time I click on one of their links each day. I got the "Zeus Virus" scam awhile ago.

Is it happening on every image, every post, or on a specific post(s)

I use Adblock Plus, seems to stop most pop up's and such like.

Would be wise to run a few programs to clean out the PUP (potentially unwanted program) thats causing the message

Most sites around mention the zeus virus fake message is caused by unwanted offers / programs being installed with other freeware that end users dont decline the offer of.

The site you visit is just a trigger not the root cause

I use both adw cleaner & junkware removal tool to keep the crapware off my system
In some cases PUPs have been known to install even after you've declined the offer.

Both have been linked to here with a full description of what they do

You didn't mention which browser you're using JCat. If it's Firefox, install NoScript. You'll still get the pop-up, and/or under window the first time you click on an image with them for the day (and that should be the last time you see them), but it will do as the name implies, and not allow the script from the offending site to run. All you should see, as I do, are a few links, the NoScript logo, and an otherwise blank page.

Thanks all three of you for the advice. To answer some of the above questions (as I remember them) the pop-up on Imagebam, when it does happen, seems to be just the first time I click on any Imagebam link that day. I do use Firefox, with AdBlock Plus (ABP). I thought I had NoScript installed as well but I can't find it, or am looking in the wrong place, or am thinking of a previous computer. For some reason, when I clicked on a "bam" link here just now, nothing bad happened. So either something is blocking it, or I clicked on a link earlier today somewhere and forgot that I did. Or perhaps Imagebam removed that problem on their end. I will also take steps to remove any "PUPS" with the programs mentioned, although a brief scan with my Kaspersky on Saturday revealed no problems. One additional step I took on Saturday was to re-set Firefox to not automatically restore to the last visited site (such as those pesky pop-up pages) after a crash or browser shut down. It just goes to my homepage (Google) now.

It may also be that the poster of the pic didn't post it as "adult content". I think when images are posted as "family safe", you don't get the hassle, and they aren't making any money.

You may be right. I was about to edit my above post to say that I just clicked on a pic in the "Artistic Nude" funnies thread on an Imagebam link and the pop-under or whatever happened, very quickly. It wasn't the "Zeus" message or a page, it seemed to just happen and then was gone.

The earlier pic I clicked was a non-nude in the Celeb section, which would fit your theory. It was a Thandie Newton pic hosted by John Bear, and harmless. Someone should ask him if he hosted it as "family safe".
